Bournemouth v Liverpool: Pictures<\/h3>\n

Liverpool could face history repeating itself in the January transfer window if they don\u2019t act quickly to strike a deal for Sporting star Goncalo Inacio. The Reds are desperate to bolster their defensive ranks and ensure that they have the depth required to compete in all competitions, though they aren’t shopping alone in that market.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side have enjoyed a strong start to the Premier League campaign, winning seven of their opening 10 matches to put themselves in fourth place in the table. Liverpool have also impressed in the Europa League and the Carabao Cup, with confidence growing in Merseyside that they could push for at least one piece of silverware this season.<\/p>\n

The Reds reshuffled their ranks significantly over the summer, with Klopp orchestrating a major rebuild of his midfield. Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch all joined the Merseyside outfit, replacing the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.<\/p>\n

Liverpool were keen to sign a left-sided defender before the start of the season as well, making enquiries into the availability of Chelsea\u2019s Levi Colwill, but ultimately decided to wait until January to push more vigorously on that front. Sporting defender Inacio has reportedly been identified as a top target in that department, though the Reds aren\u2019t alone in their interest.<\/p>\n

According to Spanish news outlet AS, Real Madrid have joined the race to sign the 22-year-old and they feel that he is a defender who can add quality to their squad in both the short and long term. The Santiago Bernabeu outfit are struggling with a string of defensive injuries and are hopeful of signing at least one reinforcement in January to prevent the problems from being too detrimental.<\/p>\n

Inacio has a \u00a352million release clause in his contract, which was added over the summer, and Madrid are happy to fork out such a fee when the transfer window opens to ensure that they secure the signature of the Portugal international.<\/p>\n
